LYNNFIELD — The town has released a statement after completing a review of a conversation that occurred Friday, June 6, before the Lynnfield High School graduation.
The video appeared to capture footage of workers setting up chairs on the football field for the ceremony. There were at least two racist words used in the video, including the N-word, that could be heard clearly.
The Town stated that the two employees involved in the conversation resigned from their positions.
“It was determined that a third employee did not make any statements that were inappropriate and attempted to defuse the conversation. The third employee has been reinstated and instructed to report similar future incidents or comments to their supervisor as soon as possible,” according to the Town.
With the review completed, the statement noted that “Lynnfield leaders stand together in outrage over what occurred and continue to state emphatically that racist language and behavior has no place in our town, will not be tolerated, and will be dealt with immediately.”
